I felt alot safer having the vdc disconnected, then it kicking in every time i go to move or take a turn.
Since i havent driven my evo in the snow yet, i cant say for sure. But i'll probably turn the traction control off on that as well.

Please, I say this because VDC saved me twice, first time was when my Z approaching when I saw 2 cars had collided, all the sudden my car started sliding towards them, the ramp was black-iced and I was going only 40km/h.
You can bring out your counter-steer or throtte control or WRC skills, but you cannot apply brakes individually like VDC.
That's how I was saved by it the first time.
So yes, you can't use VDC if you are stuck in snow, but once your car start moving, you might want to have it on.
